Windows, I think, is going the right way. Too much security at the point of Login is not as important as the security within. More security features can be added to drives and specific folders (Encryption, for instance, in all versions of Windows and permitted in folders). Easy usability is more important.

OFFTOPIC:

Program Compabikity Service is a big failure, both in Vista and Windows 7. When i install Ulead Photoimpact 12 it doesn't say anything at all. But when i install several plugins to it, that is in the installfolder it claim that they are not correctly installed, even if they are... Have to disable it to be able to install the plugins without this nagging.

If something isn't supported in Vista and Windows 7, like old Java runtime's, why aren't the install blocked ?

Very interesting article.

Let me some off topic.

Maybe it's very hard mathematics for usually American (in the Russia very popular stereotype what people of USA very stupid (I'm sorry)). Jeff Johnson, where you get your education? When this level of mathematics study in usually american school? In the Russian school children study this level (factorial, formulas, summation operator (sigma)) usually in 12-15 years. Please, someone from U. S., destroy this popular stereotype about Americans in Russia.

Sorry for my English.

Thank you very mach.

I think you should invest more, in the animations of Windows 8, because they are very poor and not invested.

If you will put the animations of Windows phone 7.5 in Windows 8, it will be much better.

@Steven Sinofsky Also why not add a Courier app to Windows 8 that takes advantage of the work that was done on the Courier user interface. Maybe integrate a Courier like experience into OneNote?
